Worth It
We did a day trip from Pittsburgh to try one of Iron Mike's restaurant's. Expert preparation of gourmet recipes. I especially liked the roasted dates and the mushroom ravioli, but it was all delicious. Service wasn't bad, but it didn't come close to keeping up with the food. The hostess wasn't remotely friendly and the bus girl cleared our bread plates right before the appetizers arrived. The atmosphere, both inside and outside the restaurant was cool and chic. The most pleasant surprise of all was the reasonable price at the end of the evening (under $150.00 for a family of four). I would definitely go back.

Not So Good!
I'm really not excited about writing a bad review.
But in this case I just can't avoid the unfortunate
situation.
Four of us walked in ate the same thing the kobe beef
burger and a drink just to sample what people have
been raving about.
I had a gut feeling when I bit into this thing that I was
going to regret ordering it.
Over cooked on the outside a little undercooked on the inside no spices of any kind not even salt or pepper.
Without going into the gory details I suffered through
2 of the worst days of my life along with my companions.
Again I don't know if the meat was cross
contaminated or just plain bad.
How this guy got national acclaim is one of the 8 wonders of the world.
Please be very careful if something doesn't seem right walk away quickly.

Making it right!
I recently went to Lolita's after months of trying to get there with my wife for dinner. it was out 11th anniversary and we were going to Lolita's to make it a special night...well...the appetizers and drinks were great. Ricotta spread with rosemary, etc, on flatbread, to die for...however, when the dinner came out, it was not to the right temperature (room temp steak) for me and my wife's meal was a little more rare than she had asked for. It was then that our waiter, Mark, stepped it up a notch...he appologized and said that our dinner was on the them. He was sorry that our anniversary dinner had turned out not to our satisfaction and offered to "start over". he cleared the table, brought us drinks and the kitchen prepared another entire meal for us, on the house...the second chance dinner was awesome. He even brough us a lemon cupcake (much nicer than a lemon cupcake, but I don't know the exact name of it) with a candle in it after dinner...I would like to thank Lolita's and Mark for a great time, atmosphere, and making my and my wife's 11th Anniversary an overall wonderful evening...

A bit of class
A group of my friends and i drive to Cleveland from Youngstown at least once a month to partake of this fine dining. The atmosphere is great, the food is superb, and the service is very friendly. The staff is so friendly that they make exceptions and make food and drink thats not on the current menu. Their mint lemonade is heavenly.

Maybe the best.......
This place just might be the best place to eat in NE Ohio. I have ventured there 6 times in the last 5 months and I live 65 miles away. The Tremont area has wonderful places to eat and Lolita is one of the best. The big board for 2 is a must and if you are there for happy hour the burger for $5 just might be the best thing ever made. The pizza is fantastic and the duck my friend had was absolutely to die for. The gnocchi is the best I have ever had. Service is always top notch and the prices are great. I don't believe anything is over $20 on the menu.

Wow......
I've been wanting to try Lola in Tremont since it opened (as I was a fan of The Food Network's "Melting Pot" which featured Michael Symon). Now Lola is Downtown and we ventured last night to Tremont for Lolita. The food was exceptional. The service was outstanding. The prices are very reasonable. I had the Hanger Steak..I think it's the best meal I've ever had! I can't wait to go back!

Lolita's in Tremont
Oct. 16 I had dinner @ Lolita's. Food great - service poor. We were late for our play. KYM made 2 errors on our bill & was rude. I talked to the mngr. He apologized & promised to send a gift card which never came. VERY DISAPPOINTING.

Prices not $$$$
I also forgot to mention that the prices are not $$$$, as this site leads one to believe. Most entrees are in the $14-20 range, with one or two on the menu that are more than that, like the Fred Flinstone.
Also, Lola / Lolita finally updated their website, check it out for their full menu.

Possibly the best restaurant in Cleveland
This is one of the best restaurants in Cleveland. The food, service, wine list, and ambiance will make you want to come back time and time again.
Don't miss out on the house cured meats and fish, as well as the delicious cheese plate.
They also have amazing happy hour specials. $5 will get you the Oysters with Love Sauce, Mussels, Proscuito Flat Bread, a combo of fired smelt and fries, Mac & Cheese, or the Kobe Beef Burger (my favorite!). The Kobe Burger is the same on that is on the normal menu for $15!
They also have $4 glasses of wine (bartenders choice of red or white) and $2 Sierra Nevada Pale Ale.
Lolita's happy hour runs Tu-Th: 5-6:60 AND 9:30-close, Fri-Sat: 10-close, and Sun 4-9. This has to be the best deal in town!

Awsome food. I dream about it at night.
My husband and I had dinner on a Saturday night. I called that day for reservations and they were booked until 9:30, which was fine; we eat late. The atmosphere is very hip and crowded but they sat us in a corner by the window and it felt quite intimate despite the noise level. Maybe because it is dim with lots of candles?
Apparently the owner used to have a restaurant in the same spot called Lola's, which closed, and it has been sort-of reopened as Lolitas, which seems to specialize in tapas. You CAN get entrees that looked interesting on the menu but we stuffed ourselves only with tapas, which were awesome.
Each tapas order is quite small (they ARE named "small bites" so I guess it shouldn't be a surprise.) They are so tasty though that it is disappointing that there isn't more! Very imaginative and delicious dishes. The best, though, was the Big Board for Two. A tray of house-cured meats and cheeses. Oh my Lord are they good! I would go back and just eat 3 of these orders! These little tissue-paper thin slices of different meats melt in your mouth and, with the cheeses and chutneys, are to die for.
We paid $70 for the "meal" with 2 glasses of wine and walked out of there very happy. We'll be back!
